Panel Submission:

There will be several slots to accommodate panel proposals. Panels will include three or four speakers with one speaker serving as a moderator. To submit a panel proposal, please send us the panel title, name of the moderator and abstracts as described above. Please note that we have a limited number of slots for panel proposals, and earlier submissions will have an advantage.
